LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR CRC ASLEEP The CRC is not helping any problems, they are making them worse [“Halloween Haters,” September 18]. Any danger that there was in previous years will be magnified with no organization like the LAC to help it. Opening Front Street up to car traffic on Halloween is crazy and very dangerous. People will still be there in droves and accidents will probably happen because of the CRC’s decisions. Now there will be less security without the LAC. Why attack one fun day of the year for Hawaiian cultural integrity, when corporations and large resorts are ruining it year-round? Wake up CRC and let Hawaiian residents have some fun.
Hawaiian (3/4 Hawaiian, 1/4 Chinese) female who has lived on Hawaii all my life, I think mixing in Hawaiian cultural sensitivity and politics is BULLSHIT. I believe every inch of Hawaii’s land is a Hawaiian Historical District but instead we have golf courses, hotels, shopping centers, homes and parking lots all over our island and what is being done about that? Nothing! I understand the issues with this Halloween event and all the work that goes into it, but don’t you people have other things to do with your time and energy like go green, make it affordable to live here in Hawaii or Maui, help the children of Hawaii, do something that will make a difference? Halloween is once a year; let it be and get a life people!

Sister act Barack Obama’s sister discusses family, hope and inspiration Photo by: Jill Bernshouse
aya Soetoro-Ng is a local Oahu girl, a schoolteacher and the mother of a fouryear-old girl, Suhaila. Oh yeah, and her older brother is Barack Obama. Obama and Soetoro-Ng, who are nine years apart, grew up together in Hawaii, where he attended Punahou School. They recently spent time together when Obama took a campaign timeout on Oahu, seeing his grandmother, playing golf, taking his two daughters to the beach, body-surfing and generally slowing down after a grueling eighteen months on the trail. Soetoro-Ng, who will be on Maui for two rallies on Saturday, September 27, spoke to me by phone as she was in transit to Honolulu Airport last Friday, on her way to a Hilo political event with Andy Winer, Hawaii State Director of the Obama for President campaign.
M
sacrificed to make this possible,” she said. “I’m so grateful to the school and my colleagues.” Maui Time Weekly: What was it like growing up in Hawaii with your older brother? Maya Soetoro-Ng: Reflecting back as an adult, Barack was a much better sibling than I realized. He was quite young when he took over raising us [her and their mother] in many ways. He helped me with academic, art and intellectual pursuits. He gave me lots of great books to read. He took me around the country to look at colleges and reviewed all my applications. He helped me heal after the loss of my father, and our mother. Barack pushed me to expand my own boundaries and level of comfort. I believe he helped me to become a better version of myself than I would have been without him. MTW: How has it been for you with
“[Barack] helped me to become a better version of myself than I would have been without him.” “Barack was so happy to be here,” she said. “He had such a good time being in Hawaii. He saw Grandmom, took the kids to the ocean and saw a monk seal up in Mokuleia. He did one rally to thank the people of Hawaii for their support.” Soetoro-Ng has been married for six years to Konrad Ng, a teacher in the University of Hawaii’s new film school and a Chinese-Canadian who just gained his U.S. citizenship. “The joke was, our family wasn’t diverse enough already,” she laughed. Soetoro-Ng teaches at La Pietra School for Girls, where she offers instruction in World Cultures to ninth graders, eleventh grade U.S. History and an elective called Peacemakers and Non-Violence for grades 9-12. She will soon take leave for the school’s second quarter this fall to join her brother’s campaign in visiting as many swing states as possible before November 4. “Others changed their schedules and
your brother running for president, and stepping into the role of helping with the campaign? MS: It’s been amazing. Very illuminating. It has allowed me to articulate why political participation matters to me. It’s something that I’ve tried to foster in my students, but I’m not sure I believed my own voice fully matters as much as I told my kids. So, now I’m getting all that love and respect for my brother transferred to me. It’s marvelous that people are doing so much. Colorado [where she attended the Democratic Convention] really impressed me. We’re ushering in a new era of participation. Democracy is looking like it should—more inclusive, and with strong grassroots efforts. MTW: As a teacher, what fixes do you believe are needed for our education system? MS: I did a lot of constituency outreach while I was on the Mainland. I believe Barack will focus on the unpopularity of
“No Child Left Behind” and take away the high-stakes testing component so that assessments will become more wellrounded. He’ll make early education a priority. The early investment pays great dividends later. Teachers and principals will get more mentorship. He wants to create learning academies to share best practices, and inter-disciplinary learning with parent, teachers and administrators. MTW: What do you hope to accomplish with the upcoming rallies on Maui and how can Obama supporters help with the campaign? MS: I know we want to take advantage of the Hawaii connections to the West Coast, especially Nevada and California. Many people have family and friends there. We want people to
continue to share stories, to communicate with neighbors, friends and coworkers. The present poll numbers show more than 60 percent support [for Obama] in Hawaii. But we can’t be complacent. We need to turn out even more Obama supporters. We want people who are inspired by Barack’s ideas and campaign to share their enthusiasm, to engage others in meaningful discussion of a vision for positive change. MTW Maya Soetoro-Ng will make two Maui appearances on Saturday, Sept. 27: Noon at the Kihei Charter School auditorium; 5pm at the Maui Waena cafeteria in Kahului.

LC Watch From sea to shining LC Today we open our LC mailbag and consider this submission from reader Chaz who asks: “Why focus just on the Liquor Commission? Are they especially corrupt, or are all the other departments bad too? Also, is this unique to Maui or are LCs bad all over?” To the first question: the existence of this column and its specific focus on the LC shouldn’t be seen as a statement about the lack of corruption in other parts of government. We feel the LC has earned special scrutiny (plus that little cigar-chomping avatar is too cool not to run every week). But cronyism, eyebrowraising decisions and inconsistent enforcement of rules—these are problems that permeate most if not all public agencies to some degree, and certainly not just here on Maui. Which brings us to the second part of Chaz’s query. A Google search for “liquor commission” and “corruption” yields close to 2,400 hits. On closer examination, many of these are related to the scandal that rocked the Honolulu LC a few years back and led to the conviction of multiple department officials on bribery and extortion charges in 2004. It was a juicy one. There are also a few Maui Time entries mixed in, which is nice to see in a pat-ourselves-on-the-back sort of way.
ROBREPORT
Fruits of his labor Ono Organic’s Chuck Boerner feeds Maui erched on the lush hillside of Kipahulu, the acres of orchards at Ono Organic Farms possess a Garden of Eden-like quality. Just beyond the tourist destination at the Oheo Gulch portion of Haleakala National Park, and hidden from the view of passers-by, tropical sunshine, rich volcanic soil and decades of dedication by the Boerner family have conspired to produce a huge bounty of tropical exotic fruits. For years, I’ve peeled the small, oval “Ono Organic” sticker off store-bought papayas, avocados and bananas before enjoying them but had never traveled to their place of origin in East Maui. On a brilliant Sunday morning, Heather and I climbed up the steep driveway, past a packing shed with dozens of bunched bananas hanging to ripen. Two farm workers pointed us to the family home, around a bend bordered by coffee and papaya trees. On an open lanai overlooking orchard treetops down to the ocean, Chuck and Lily Boerner sat with guests from Washington state, sipping home-

Boerner inherited a green thumb from his grandfather, “Johnny Fruits.” Standing in line at the Honolulu airport for a flight to the “Garden Island” of Kauai, he was told that he was actually in line for a plane heading to Maui. What the heck, he thought, let’s give Maui a try.

The Ono Farms story is one of hard work and a love for the land and people of East Maui.
But the search hits aren’t limited solely to the Aloha State. LC shenanigans are reported in all corners of this great land, from Iowa to Illinois to— surprise, surprise—Las Vegas. So it’s clear questionable behavior and liquor control often go hand-in-hand. Which really should come as no surprise; since the days of Prohibition (and before), the production, sale and consumption of intoxicating elixirs has been surrounded by a thick cloud of turpitude. And, it’s safe to say, that ain’t gonna change anytime soon.

grown coffee and sampling fruits from a huge cornucopia spread across a long wooden table. Amidst the abundant array, my gaze fell upon the crimson center of a just-sliced dragon fruit, one of many exotic specialties they grow. huck, born and raised on Oahu, returned to Maui 33 years ago and has been farming ever since. It appears the Ono Farms story is one of hard work, an interest in healthful growing passed down from Boerner’s grandfather and a love for the land and people of East Maui. Boerner’s father was an engineer for the underground storage tanks at Red Hill, which fueled the fleets at Pearl Harbor. A few days after Chuck was born in 1945, his grandfather, who had recently adopted a “health kick” of fasting and healthy eating, set out to look for land where he could grow his own food.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY
Days later, he purchased some land in the Makalae area of Hana, near Waioka (commonly referred to as Venus Pools). During his childhood, Boerner often traveled to Maui to spend time with his grandfather. “I grew up hanging out at Hamoa Beach, and surfing with Eddie Pu,” Boerner said with a smile. Lily walked into their home and returned with a sepia-toned photograph of 5-year old Chuck tugging a toy wheelbarrow behind him as he followed his grandfather through their banana patch. In those days, his granddad sold fruits, veggies and eggs, “For a dollar a dozen—but you’d always get a couple avocadoes or a bunch of bananas with it, too,” said Boerner. Lily said she undertook a project where she asked many of the East Maui elders to share memories of life growing up in Hana. “They called his granddad, ‘Johnny Fruits,’” said Lily. “And they called his wife, ‘Nina the Kind One,’ and said she’d make delicious baked goods to share when
then set out on what turned out to be a five-year trip around the world. He visited Madagascar and India and surfed in Mauritius and Sri Lanka. He also journeyed to Nepal and Afganistan. Boerner spent a full year in Africa, where he helped lead a project of engineering a new harbor in Mombasa. When he returned to Hawaii, in 1975, he purchased nine acres in the Kipahulu area where he now resides. He vowed he’d try his hand at farming before he had to go back to Oahu and land an engineering job. Boerner has been farming ever since. Chuck and Lily have raised two sons, Pueo and Kali, and a daughter, Lilia. All take an active role in the family farm. Two workers from the Philippines, part of a World Wide Farmer’s Exchange program they’ve used for over the past fifteen years, round out the farm crew. Some time ago, by cashing out a family parcel on north shore, Oahu, they were able to acquire an adjacent parcel stretch-
ROBREPORT ing farther up the green Kipahulu hills. They now actively manage some fifty acres of orchards and lease out pasture land, but with covenants against using chemicals. oerner said they grow, “mostly fruits, not much veggies, so we don’t bend over so much.” Indeed, their packing shed was filled with flats of bananas, avocados, papayas and more, awaiting their trip to market. They’ve had a prominent spot at the Maui Swap Meet in Kahului for the past 15 years and claim to be the only organic growers there. They also do four to five markets a week at the old Hasegawa Store location in Hana, where they also sell some specialty items. Boerner opened a wooden cupboard on the lanai, stocked with rows of jellies, jams, honey and seasoning packages. The Ono Farms labeled products include: Surinam cherry jelly; pineapple guava jelly; apple banana butter; starfruit orange marmalade; honey and spice roasting glaze; and the Hawaiian Kitchen Goddess Dry Rub seasoning. Special roasts and blends of their coffee were also bagged, labeled and ready for sale. In addition to their open air markets, Ono Farms fruits and products have numerous other outlets: Star Market; Down to Earth; Hawaiian Moons; Mana Foods; restaurants such as Hula Grill, Kula Lodge, Mama’s Fish House and Pacifico’s; and Ono Gelato in Paia. Increasingly, their experimental plantings of exotic tropical fruits are allowing them to bring a wide variety to market, including the new fruit on the block, dragon fruit. While many Hawaii residents are aware of the night blooming cereus cactus, not many were aware that it would set fruit. The secret lies in hand pollination of different varieties of the cactus, as one variety will not pollinate itself. They now offer softball-sized dragon fruits that are yellow, pink, red and white on the outside and bright red sweet and juicy on the inside. Boerner also sells the starts so people can grow and cross-pollinate their own. The farm also raises among other things: cherimoyas, sweetsops, chocolate sapote, momi apple, cacao, cinnamon, lychee, longans, breadfruit and rambutan. “The reason for our prosperity has been diversity,” said Boerner. “What we have here is fruit forest biodiversity rather than mono-cropping. The sub-soil root bacteria of the various species nourishes and feeds each other, and that’s been proven.” In his four-wheel drive truck,

Boerner drove me up to an area where they grow trees for hearts of palm. When the trunk reaches a height of about a meter below the first leaf frond it’s cut at ground level, producing the tender delicacy at its core. New shoots sprout in the area where one has been cut. Nearby, we arrived at a stand of durian trees laden with fruit a dozen years after they were planted. “We should have 300 fruits this year,” he said with a smile. Earlier on his porch, he had sliced open a ripe durian, football-sized and armored with dozens of thorns. Yet it is usually the pungent aroma as much as the odd appearance that grabs one’s attention. While some would say durian is an acquired taste, it may be more accurate to say it’s either loved or loathed, revered or reviled. Boerner carved out a few gooey sections
of the fruit for his guests. The flavor is reminiscent of carmelized onions and garlic. Nonetheless, his durian is quite popular, especially with Asians who visit his market stands. In a relatively flat six acres above most of his other orchards, Boerner has opened a stand of banana trees. Using his engineering background, he laid out the area to spell O-N-O in huge letters, with papaya trees planted inside the Os. He told me it can be viewed by satellite on Google Earth or FlashEarth.com. Obviously he is a man having fun with his work. oerner is a past president of both the Hawaii Organic Farmers Association and the Maui County Farm Bureau, though he’s relieved that his five-year stint on the board of the latter just ended.

With the closure of the road through the Kaupo side of the island after damage from the October 2006 earthquake, his commutes to town have been much longer. Nevertheless, they still do deliveries two days a week or more and will accept orders for home fruit deliveries as well. He’s awaiting the re-opening of the “backside” road after the repairs are completed, announced for next month. Ono Farms conducts tours at 2:30pm on Monday and Thursday, which generally are harvest days. Visitors can taste 12 to 20 types of exotic fruits, see their packing shed and tour the farm. Lily told me they sometimes talk about scaling down their activities and doing less, not working so hard. “But then we ask ourselves,” she added, “if we do that, who’s going to feed Maui?” MTW

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD DEJA VOTE The two states whose electoral votes decided the presidential races in 2000 (Florida) and 2004 (Ohio) are provoking anxiety this time around, also. In Palm Beach County, Fla. (home of the “butterfly ballot” in 2000), 3,478 optical-scan votes disappeared between primary night counting on Aug. 26 and the official recount a few days later (flipping the outcome of at least one race). Also in August, Ohio officials claimed that they had fixed a software-logic tabulating error in Premier Election Systems machines used in some counties (but, according to a spokesman for Premier, a company formerly known as Diebold, that error had been present for the last 10 years). Also in August, the Ohio secretary of state ordered election officials to end the practice of taking voting machines home at night during election season “for safekeeping,” even though such “sleepovers” had been encouraged in order to protect the machines from tampering.
THE BARE NECESSITIES The New York Post spotted several Manhattan businesses that tried to appeal to nudists this summer with special events. Among the most challenging were John Ordover’s monthly dinners at selected restaurants (such as the Mercantile Grill), where about 50 diners eat and drink naked (served by the restaurant’s regular, clothed staff), and the Naked Comedy Showcase at People’s Improv Theater in the Chelsea district, where once a month, naked comedians perform (and a section in the audience is reserved for naked patrons).
SOBERING SCIENCE In July, microbiologists writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reported that the Malaysian pen-tailed tree shrew subsists on a diet of fermented palm nectar that is roughly the equivalent of 100 percent beer. “They seem to have developed some type of mechanism to deal with that high level of alcohol and not get drunk,” according to one researcher, who hoped further study could help with human cases of alcohol poisoning (and other rare instances in which people ingest alcohol for purposes other than getting drunk).

Said the museum’s curator, the exhibit simply compensates for museums’ traditional animal exhibits in which depictions of genitalia are suppressed.
NOT FUNNY Kay Underwood, 20, of Barrow upon Soar, England, risks momentarily collapsing every time she laughs, according to an August report in London’s Daily Telegraph. Her cataplexy causes a sudden, dramatic weakening of muscles when she experiences strong emotions, including joy, excitement and anger. She said she has collapsed as many as 40 times in a day, and sometimes her friends will good-naturedly try to make her giggle, but she said she has learned tricks to protect herself, “such as locking my knees together or grabbing on to something.”

DOCTORING THE RESULTS Some dermatologists have created significant divides between their “medical” patients (acne, cancer) and their beauty-treatment patients (plastic surgery, Botox), with the latter offered luxurious waiting rooms, frequent telephone contacts and more personalization of treatment. One doctor told The New York Times in July, “You have to class it up for those patients,” who pay their own way and with minimal paperwork. Besides, said another, “If you do an extreme makeover on someone, you are a hero.”
PIOUS PORTFOLIOS In a July Newsweek review of “faithbased” mutual funds (whose managers invest only in companies whose work does not offend their particular spiritual values), big short-term losers included one Mennonite fund emphasizing pacifism (eschewing highperforming military and energy stocks), but big winners lately were Islamic funds. Not only do they screen out the “sin” companies (tobacco, alcohol) and sellers of pork products, but they avoid financial-services stock (based on the Quran’s prohibition against borrowing or lending if interest is charged) and thus were unscathed by the initial mortgage-market meltdown.
THE SAFE ROUTE An unidentified man smashed a 6-foot hole in the wall of the Name Brand Clothing Store in Tulsa, Okla., in August and labored through the night to bust open the safe, but according to the surveillance video, he finally gave up six hours later after making only a small hole in the safe. However, when the store manager arrived later that morning, he found the safe unlocked, probably the result of his forgetfulness the night before, and no contents were missing. Though the crime was unsuccessful, the manager offered to hire the robber, based just on his diligent work ethic. MTW

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 The primary election is just three days away, but not every politico is sweating it. Among those candidates running unopposed—and enjoying the concurrent low blood pressure—is Councilman Mike Victorino who along with his son, pro ballplayer Shane, stars in our acclaimed ongoing series Victorino Watch 2008. The latest stats: Victorino the Elder, still unopposed (but for some reason putting up campaign signs, maybe just so we don’t forget about him); Victorino the younger, hitting a healthy .333 over the past 15 games including a 3for-4 performance today that helped

keep his Philadelphia Phillies atop the National League East standings with the playoffs rapidly approaching. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 Our e-mail of the day comes courtesy of someone named “Mr. No-No.” It’s a list of Halloween safety tips that begins innocuously enough with common sense suggestions like keep your kids in sight at all times, bring a flashlight, don’t hand the wee ones a knife when pumpkin carving, etc. Then we arrive at this: “Take treats to a court house or an airport and get it [sic] x-rayed if available.” While the image of a kid in a Batman costume going through airport security with his bag of Goobers and candy corn is mildly amusing, I’ve still gotta say: this is madness. Numerous investigations have confirmed that there’s no veracity to the old “razorblade in the candy apple” urban yarn. Yet each year as All Hallows’ Eve approaches we’re bombarded with paranoid rants like the one from Mr. No-No (how do I get on these people’s mailing lists?) disguised as helpful holiday tips. When I was a kid, my neighbor made these really awesome popcorn balls; they were always the first things I ate, usually before I even got home. Now it’d take a team of chemical experts in hazmat suits running a monthlong battery of tests before I could peel back the Saran wrap. Sad. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 Weird food metaphor of the week: In a Maui News article about the economic slowdown and the still-raging battle over TVRs, Wailuku Main Street Association director Jocelyn Perreira said, “Businesses should focus on local population as the meat and potatoes, and the visitors are the gravy.” I get what she means, but I dunno—isn’t there a less vaguely gross way to express that thought?

At what point do you stop being “hot”? We’re considering that question in light of a recent study conducted by Bizjournals.com that ranked the “100 hottest” job markets in the country using data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Honolulu came in 41st, a sharp drop from its previous perch at number 18. Which brings us back to our original query: When you tumble 23 rungs on the ladder, aren’t you less “hot” and more “scalded”? In these volatile (boy that adjective sure is getting a workout on the financial pages lately) economic times, even small growth is something to trumpet. Buoyed by a significant uptick in production, total coffee sales on Hawaii reached $31.9 million for the year, as reported in Pacific Business News. Though the average farm price for coffee dropped 5 cents statewide, production was up nearly 6 percent on Maui, Kauai and Oahu combined, which offset a 3 percent decline on the Big Island. You keep growing it, guys, and I’ll keep doing my part (sips heartily).

According to figures from the state labor department, Hawaii’s unemployment rate hit 4.2 percent last month, up from 3.9 percent in July and 2.7 percent in August 2007. The numbers, while certainly not encouraging, are softened by a couple of factors. The state created 2,300 new jobs compared with a year ago, a promising figure even if it didn’t keep up with the growing workforce. And Hawaii’s jobless rate is still well below the national average, which ballooned to 6.1 percent. We’ve been following the saga of Hawaii Tourism Authority CEO Rex Johnson, who got into trouble for forwarding some naughty messages on the company e-mail. It looked like the matter was settled a couple weeks ago when the HTA board slapped Johnson with a pay cut and reduced the length of his contract. Not so fast. The Honolulu Advertiser got its hands on the e-mails in question and ran a story. At least one of the messages used racial and sexist slurs to refer to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. (It should be noted Johnson didn’t write any of the messages, he just received them and sent them along to his buddies.) Now lots of important folks including Gov. Lingle are calling for Johnson’s head. (Wow, that was a totally unintentional dirty joke—but if you’re reading this online on the company computer, don’t forward it just to be safe.) In light of all this brouhaha, the HTA board is set to re-consider Rex’s employment status on September 29. Who’s taking bets? MTW

For Maui’s Clay Marzo, surfing is a lifeline—and ine—and a life By Beau Ewan
“Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.” —Albert Einstein n many ways, the above quote epitomizes Asperger’s Syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder characterized by some social difficulties and an intense interest in limited specific tasks. Many modern psychologists theorize that a number of history’s great thinkers may have had Asperger’s including Einstein, who worked so hard on his theory of relativity that his hair turned white and his marriage collapsed. Leonardo da Vinci spent 12 years obsessively shaping the ambiguous smile on his masterpiece the Mona Lisa. More recently, a young man named Bill Gates stayed awake for hours on end writing his first software program,
I

SEPTEMBER 25, 2008
and later dropped out of Harvard in the same pursuit. For Maui’s Clay Marzo, diagnosed with Asperger’s in December of 2007, the obsession is waves, and more specifically tucking underneath them and throwing himself into the most absurd positions ever witnessed in professional surfing. “I’ve never seen someone surf so much,” says three-time world champion surfer Andy Irons in a new documentary produced by Quicksilver about Marzo, titled Just Add Water. “As far as 18-yearolds go, he’s the best one in the world by far; he blows everyone away.” Marzo’s entire life has been defined by an almost physical addiction to the water. Clay’s mother Jill, also the mother of professional surfer Cheyne Magnusson, raised her children in the water. “When Clay was little, in order to put him to sleep or stop him from crying, I had to float him in the tub,” says Jill. “I would put his head in the back of my hands, and he would just float and relax and let go. Often Clay would fall into this strange trance where he would just start humming.” As the waters around Marzo grew larger, so did the buzz surrounding him. At age 10, he won the Hawaii state 200 meter freestyle. Tom Pomdan, coach of the Lahaina swim club and the Lahainaluna swim team, remembers the race: “Clay was seated second in the race. The kid seated first was an unbelievable swimmer, he had won just about every event that day. But Clay had gone out so fast at the gun, with such speed and determination,
MAUI TIME WEEKLY
that the other kid couldn’t keep up. The race belonged to Clay.” But Clay’s focus in life has always been surfing. Jill jokingly says she would have loved for Clay to focus more on swimming, but that he had real problems with the Speedos. And although school was inevitably difficult for Clay, all of his childhood assignments highlighted an intense affinity for surfing. Several of his short stories from elementary school had teachers commenting, “Great work Clay, but you need to stop thinking about surfing all the time.” Marzo ignored his teachers’ suggestions and his surfing career began to take hold at age 11, when he placed third in his age bracket at the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) national championships in Huntington Beach, California. Jill sent Quicksilver a home video of Marzo surfing, which Clay himself obsessively edited and set to the background music of classical composers. After seeing the video, the world’s largest surfing company slapped the young prodigy with a corporate contract before he had even hit puberty. t age 15, Marzo went on to make history at the NSSA championships, when he became the first ever to earn two perfect scores in a final. From there, he was asked to be part of Quicksilver’s Young Guns, the first of three movies in which eight-time world champion Kelly Slater leads a select group of up and coming amateurs to surf perfect waves in distant locales. At 17, Marzo was nominated for maneuver of the year at the Surfer Magazine Reader’s Poll Awards for a trick he performed in Young Guns 3. Despite all his accomplishments in the ocean, it became clear that on land Marzo
A
was a fish out of water—flailing in school from the pressures of traveling and fulfilling contractual obligations. Asperger’s is ultimately an imbalance in the brain, with acute areas of hyperfocus coupled with extreme inattention. And although Marzo was not yet diagnosed with the syndrome, it was already evident that he needed something beyond traditional education. Jill pulled him out for home schooling. “Clay needs everything in sequence and surfing. In order to teach him, I had to lay out the scheduled routine each day, with the goal of going surfing when our work was done,” remembers Jill. “I tried to relate every lesson I taught him to surfing, and that’s how we got him through.” Marzo’s sponsors began to notice that even in the water, Clay remained in his
own world. He surfs with an intuitive style reflected in his unique maneuverability and intense focus under even the heaviest conditions. But his contest results can sometimes be a poor reflection of his natural ability because he is more concerned with catching waves than winning heats. The growing amount of promotional work required to be a professional surfer can be daunting for Clay. In Just Add Water, pro surfer Dane Reynolds explains, “At the latest Young Guns tour, I noticed Clay wasn’t hanging around a lot when we were doing signings, he was mostly hanging around in the van.” More people close to Marzo began to notice his pronounced idiosyncrasies or “tics,” like constantly rubbing his sunburnt hands together, as if he had just removed a pair of gloves in the freezing snow. In December of 2007, Marzo’s sponsors decided to have him tested by the world’s leading autism experts, who diagnosed Clay with Asperger’s. In Just Add Water, Dr. Tony Attwood explains the uniqueness of Clay’s condition: “The best description is that the brain is wired differently, and some things are processed so superbly that the person has areas of excellence.” Attwood feels Marzo’s condition is responsible for his unique talent. “What he’ll do is have a schema of many waves that he had before, and then be able to predict what to do in that situation, so that his brain disconnects from everyday functions and just becomes one with the waves.” n August 29th, surfers from Hana to Lahaina packed into the Maui Arts and Cultural Center’s Castle Theatre for the premiere of Just Add Water. Throughout the viewing, surfers of every age screamed like groms as they watched Marzo make the impossible look effortless, from landing aerials that would break most necks to maintaining a deeply wired sense of control in the cavernous barrels of Tahiti’s Teahupoo. “If it weren’t for barrels, I probably wouldn’t even surf,” says Marzo. Softly intoning his
O
most emotional line in the film. The only silence in the theater came at the closing credits, when Marzo is seen surfing tandem with an autistic child, while volunteering for an organization called Surfers Healing. Surfers Healing was founded by Israel and Danielle Paskowitz when their son, Isaiah, was diagnosed with autism at age three. They had noticed a significant difference in Isaiah’s overall consciousness while floating on a surfboard. Surfers Healing has brought joy to thousands of autistic children across the
country by introducing them to surfing, something so therapeutic the results are too transformative to be measured through cognitive testing. Israel calls Clay a miracle. “He is one of the most beautiful human beings and is an inspiration to all these children, and to myself, and to our organization,” he says. Although it has not yet hit shelves, Marzo recently won best male performer of the year at the Surfer Magazine Reader’s Poll Awards for his surfing in Just Add Water. The premiere has generated so much hype that producers are tak-
ing the film to the upcoming Sundance Film Festival. Jill has been contacted by producers from Hollywood who are interested in writing a screenplay based on Marzo’s story. he next chapter of Marzo’s career as a professional surfer remains uncertain. He can focus on being a free surfer, earning money exclusively through videos and photographs. Marzo may also follow the World Qualifying Series (WQS) and attempt to land a place on the World Championship Tour (WCT), where he can battle it out in contests with the top 44 competitive surfers in the world, chasing the dream of a world title. ”There is just so much going on right now. After the Maui premiere, I’ve received 58 e-mails from people I don’t even know telling me how much hope my son’s story has given them,” says Jill. “And right now, Clay is at such an important point in his career. Will he be a competitive surfer? Will he be a free surfer? I just don’t know where he’ll go from here.” Despite the diagnoses, the intricacies of Marzo’s mind ultimately remain a mystery. Perhaps the only thing we know for certain is that his impact on the sport is already something far beyond videos, advertisements and contest results. And through it all, Marzo just wants to go surfing. MTW

Eat, drink and be Merriman’s Unbelievable food with an unbeatable view n the interest of full disclosure, I have a confession to make before I deliver this review: I work for Peter Merriman. So does Dave, my boyfriend and partner in culinary crime. On the weekends, when I’m not busy banging on this keyboard and he’s free from raising and lowering the sails on the boat he works on, we fill our pockets by slinging the tasty creations of Executive Chef Merriman at the Hula Grill.
I
Merriman’s 1 Bay Drive, Kapalua 669-6400 Daily 11:30 am-2pm & 5:30-9:30pm
But Merriman is a man who wears many hats, and besides being one of the pioneers of a food movement commonly known as Hawaiian regional cuisine and playing top chef at Hula, he reigns the kitchen of his own independently operated Merriman’s restaurant, with locations on the Big Island, this lovely rock we call home and another soon to materialize on Kauai. The first thing that must be mentioned about this restaurant is the view. Merriman’s is perched perfectly on the south tip of Kapalua Bay. The far ends of both Lanai and Molokai—and a vast expanse of land, sea and sky in between— are visible from nearly every table. The
sun sets dramatically in front of the dining room as if it’s been privately contracted for a solo show, but true to our usual form, Dave and I showed up ten minutes too late to watch the spectacle. The after show, however, was more than impressive; we enjoyed it from the lanai—which stretches in front of the restaurant to the tip of the point—Cosmopolitans in hand. When darkness set in, we took our seats at a large, comfortable table for two and were presented with menus. The wine list at Merriman’s could easily impress a Trump or a Hilton, but we bypassed the bottles that cost more than my car and ordered the Green and Red Zinfandel, a personal favorite of mine that was priced comfortably within our budget. Not wanting to make a mistake and miss an amazing appetizer, we decided to go with the pupu taster, which came with a quartet of delicious items. We started with the Kalua pig and Maui onion quesadilla, which was savory and crispy and did wonders to whet my appetite. Moving clockwise around the platter, we dove into a white shrimp poke that was served with avocado, papaya and a perfect little pancetta chip before moving on to the lamb spring roll that came atop a sweet sauce infused with Maui Gold pineapple. Finally we came to the homemade chorizo and Keahole clams, a spicy dish with a broth that was born to be sopped up with warm bread and was my favorite dish by far. I had called dibs on the Kapalua Farm beet and tomato salad when we opened up our menus and I was far from disappointed by the rich, red beets, the

abundance of feta cheese and sweet, but light, sherry and honey vinaigrette. But I’ll admit I was a little jealous of Dave’s salad. In my rush to lay claim to what I was positive was the best salad on the menu, I’d completely overlooked the organic tomato and Kula onion salad, which came without greens but did arrive garnished with fresh basil and fried (fried!) Surfing Goat feta. For our entrees Dave chose the lobster, to the surprise of absolutely no one, and I ordered a steak. His lobster, plucked straight out of Big Island waters, came butter poached out of the shell atop a tasty little corn cake and sautéed mushrooms. The result was a rich, sweet medley of flavors that sets Merriman’s lobster apart from the pack. My steak, a ribeye, came out perfectly medium rare topped with crumbled bleu
cheese and a creamy potato and broccoli gratin. It was rich, tender and enormous; a perfect meat-and-potatoes meal that was more than satisfying. We finished dinner in the usual way, with coffee and chocolate. Two chip shots were ordered to go with the chocolate purse, a flakey chocolate phyllo shell filled with warm, creamy bittersweet chocolate. It came with house made vanilla bean ice cream but I was so impressed that Merriman’s makes their own rocky road, among several other flavors, that I ordered it on the side. A girl can never have too many flavors of ice cream. MTW Pictured: Executive Chef George Gomes Jr.; Butter poached lobster.

kicked to the curb by a few bath granules and hot water. Let me be the first to expose the urban legend—it doesn’t work. The modern woman’s stresses go beyond what tricks
Calgon can perform in your own bathtub. But if you are in need of a little “take me away” then it’s time to check yourself into a spa and get some essential treatment. I’m not talking about just getting a massage, but heading to a place where you’ll get the royal treatment. I was lucky enough to recently make an appointment for my husband and myself at the brand new Heavenly Spa at the Westin Ka‘anapali Ocean Resort Villas. This beautiful facility is 10,000 square feet of pure pampering that made a recent spa treatment convert out of my husband, who’s now partial to facials and pedicures. Guys, don’t laugh until you try it. When you check in at the serene circular lobby, you’ll be assigned a locker as well as an attendant. Quickly get rid of the possessions and clothing that have weighed you down and don the robe and

slippers they provide, and let the coddling begin. Your attendant will give you a tour of the services provided, bring fresh towels and let you know when your appointment is. Be sure to come early enough to spend some time in the eucalyptus steam room and rain showers or to get some much needed rest and relaxation in the lounge with some of the magazines and refreshments they provide. The spa has 13 therapy rooms that offer treatments like hydrotherapy and suites for couples massage. You can book appointments for massages, body treatments, facials, manicures and pedicures or any combinations therein. Their treatments also incorporate Hawaiian and Polynesian treatments like lomi lomi, hot stones and they feature many locally grown products like coconut, lilikoi, limu and hibiscus on their spa services menu. The design of the spa is very contemporary, incorporating bamboo and dark mahogany wood features throughout. Once we were called to our couples massage—the Couples Heavenly Romance Service—we climbed the grand staircase and gazed at their one-of-a-kind, hypnotic chromatherapy light fixture. With multiple couples massage suites, including one called the Tree House Villa with indoor/outdoor amenities, the spa has lots of options for two. Our package was the honeymoon massage (that we never had on our actual honeymoon). Our therapists provided aromatherapy, coconut massage oils, lomi lomi and a most amazing massage experience. They also draw a bath for two, and then discreetly exit leaving you
both with a plate of fruit and hampagne and a giant hot bath to unwind in. After wrapping back into my robe and slippers I spent some time in their outdoor lanai area. I felt wholly refreshed; he stress of Maui life had given in to the peaceful tranquility of the moment. As I headed to check out and leave envelopes containing notes of gratuity for my therapists and attendants I cherished this refuge before I was thrust back onto Honoapiilani Highway. All good things come to an end—but you can always come back for more. MTW

FILMCRITIQUE
BY COLE SMITHEY COLE@MAUITIME.COM
Don’t believe in ‘Miracle’ Spike Lee’s bombastic war film goes AWOL pike Lee boxes outside of his directorial weight-class with a war story bogged down by hamhanded smacks of magical realism and over-pronounced examples of racial prejudice. Lee’s muddle of inappropriate camera angles, overemphasized exposition and overall inability to get beyond the scope of his source material makes this cinematic garment seem like it was made with a shortage of fabric.
S
Miracle at St. Anna
★★★★★ Rated R/145 min.
James McBride’s script, based on his own novel, proves problematic in its attempt to create a believable fictionalized account of the experiences of a group of four Buffalo Soldiers
fighting in the 92nd Infantry Division in Tuscany, Italy. The troops survive crossing a shallow river into enemy territory where they remain trapped with a group of Italian locals, unaided by their unit’s white commander who refuses to send in reinforcements. The group’s largest soldier Sam (Omar Benson Miller) has a knack for lugging around heavy things, like a decapitated statue head from a destroyed Italian bridge and a lost little Italian boy who Sam believes will keep his squad safe from harm. This is a war movie that’s all over the place. Its performances range from disappointing to mediocre in an overlong film that’s more likely to give you a headache than any sense of thematic resolve. Spike Lee is not a natural storyteller, or even mindful of tapping naturalist qualities. His is a clinical cinema derived of misappropriated camera angles and lighting schemes, where the audience awaits its series of narrative face slaps that come here in the form of racism from the U.S. commanders and an incongruous flashback sequence that permanently disfigures the movie.
We know we’re in trouble when a low camera shot tracks down a long hallway toward a closed apartment door. It’s a Scorsese camera move that, in Lee’s hand, pushes toward horror-movie conventions. Brutal violence does arrive in the form of a career-veteran postal worker who pulls a military gun on a patron and kills the man on the spot. So we shift from horror to mystery within a few beats before being plunged in with an infantry of Buffalo Soldiers slogging through enemy territory to the strains of Axis Sally (Alexandra Maria Lara) telling the troops their country doesn’t care about them but that Germany does. It’s a slick bit of wartime propaganda that rings truer as the black battalion is thinned out from fierce shelling by Nazi soldiers. The movie takes a hard right turn in developing an unlikely buddy story between the oversized American soldier Sam and the little Italian boy Angelo (Matteo Sciabordi). Lee flirts with an Amelie brand of quirkiness in early scenes between the religiously committed Sam and the boy he views as a savior.
Hell is a Spike Lee war joint. Thankfully Lee abandons starry-eyed magic dust stuff, even if it’s only to overplay a silly romantic rivalry between Second Staff Sergeant Aubrey Banks (Derek Luke) and Sergeant Bishop Cummings (Michael Ealy) for the attention of Italian beauty Renata (Valentina Cerri). Some blame must be attributed to screenwriter/novelist James McBride for a bologna sandwich of a story, as well as to Terence Blanchard for an overtly bombastic musical score that’s akin to hearing a little boy cry wolf a few too many times. However it’s Lee who must assess his failure and do the right thing—retire. MTW

(KB) FIREPROOF - PG - Drama - This heaping helping of Jesus stars Kirk Cameron (of both Growing Pains and Left Behind series fame) as a firefighter. Yeah. He is about to give up on his marriage when he finds that...okay, I’ll let you guess what happens here. 122 min. (KB) MIRACLE AT ST. ANNA - R - Drama This, the latest Spike Lee joint, follows four African American soldiers during WWII who get trapped behind enemy lines while in Italy.

Now Showing BABYLON A.D. - PG13 - Action - Vin Diesel plays a man on a mission in this postapocalyptic what-have-you.

The longer he stays there, the more attached he gets to a young criminal he is mentoring and a shop girl he is falling for. Adrenaline spikes are expected. 100 min. BURN AFTER READING - R - Comedy With films like Raising Arizona, The Big Lebowski and No Country for Old Men under the Coen Brothers’ belt it’s hard not to get one’s hopes up for this one. The cast, which includes John Malkovich, Brad Pit, and Tilda Swinton, also raises the bar. The premise: two bonehead gym employees stumble upon a draft of a former CIA agent’s memoirs, then attempt extortion. 97 min.
BY KATE BRADSHAW CALENDAR@MAUITIME.COM
GHOST TOWN - PG13 - Comedy - The Office (UK) and Extras star Ricky Gervais stars as a dude who dies on the operating table for seven minutes.

LAKEVIEW TERRACE - R - Thriller - A young couple attempts to find bliss in their new suburban home only to find that their new neighbor, a severe cop played by Samuel L. Jackson, is one bad mothafucka. 110 min. THE LONGSHOTS - PG13 - Comedy Apparently based on a true story, this film serves as former Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst’s directorial debut. Hmmm. It follows the rise of the young girl who became the first female to compete in the Pop Warner football tournament. 94 min. MAMMA MIA - PG13 - Comedy - ABBA returns with a vengeance in this screen adaptation of the musical that put a skip in the step of dancing queens around the world. 98 min.

MY BEST FRIEND’S GIRL - R - Comedy - So basically, a dude (Jason Biggs) is a bit too into the chick he’s been dating (Kate Hudson), who as a result dumps him. Dude then calls on a friend who is an expert at driving girls back into the arms of their exes. Creepy. 101 min.

DISASTER MOVIE - PG13 - Comedy Another “insert-premise-here” attempt to lampoon pop culture. Degree of humor found here is presumably directly proportional to number of paint cans huffed before entering theater. 90 min. THE FAMILY THAT PREYS - PG13 - Drama - Kathy Bates stars as a wealthy socialite who, along with her best friend (Alfre Woodard), discovers unthinkable family secrets involving affairs, baby daddies and other ethical breaches. In light of this, they take a road trip (something only socialites can afford). Written and directed by Tyler Perry. 111 min.

A dose of hula
Obama’s sister on Maui?! OMG!
Saturday (Sept 27), 7:30pm, Castle Theatre, MACC
Saturday (Sept 27), 5pm, Maui Waena Cafeteria
[MUSIC] Outside the Hawaiian Isles, hula is probably one of the most misunderstood dance forms out there. On-island we occasionally get the chance to check out some extremely moving purveyors of the art. This weekend will serve as such an opportunity when two-time Na Hoku Hanohano award-winning male vocalist and kumu hula (hula teacher) Uluwehi Guerrero brings his show “Home is where the Heart Is” to the MACC. Traditional Hawaiian music and chant will saturate the event, especially when the 80-member Hawaiian choir Na Leo Lani O Maui takes the stage for its debut performance. $12/$25/$30.
[POLITICS] Obviously, Obama doesn’t have to worry about winning Hawaii and all four of its Electoral College votes. But regardless, showing your support for a candidate can only enhance his or her campaign. Still better yet, political rallies such as the one taking place in honor of Obama this Saturday serve as a place for like minds to meet, exchange ideas and commiserate on the shallowness of national elections. Oh, and also to hear from Obama’s half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, who incidentally spoke with MTW’s own Rob Parsons this week in a pretty darned interesting interview (see page 5). This is a rare event, and sounds like the perfect antidote to that flesh-eating Palin bug that’s going around. $5 donation.

At the drive-in
So much to seed
Saturday (Sept 27), 6pm, MCC
Saturday (Sept 27), 10pm, Charley’s, Paia
[FILM] When was the last time you caught a movie at a drive-in? My last drive-in flick was Top Gun. I was four, and I cried when Goose died. Anyway, the drive-in used to be one of those happenings that could appeal to a wide demographic. Yet they have pretty much faded from the cultural landscape. Saturday evening, Maui Community College will host a drive-in movie night that will showcase aqua-themed films, including Palm Trees and Proteges, Water Horse: Legend of the Deep, and Turtle & the Shark. Uncle Boy Kanae & Ohana will provide live music and there will be local food vendors on hand. Did I mention that proceeds from this event go to local Maui nonprofits? This is old school we’re talking about, so bring an FM radio. $20/car, $5/walk-ins.
[MUSIC] It’s safe to bet that San Diego-based reggae band Tribal Seeds will draw a sizable crowd this Saturday night. This is due in part to the fact that reggae reigns on Maui. Yet there are elements of this San Diego-based act’s sound that give it a universal appeal. Without a doubt, Tribal Seeds is reggae to the bone, but creative guitar leads give their tunes a unique twist. Bob Marley and Steel Pulse are obvious influences, but their youth adds an air of exuberance to their sound. Super Dub 5 opens. $15.

Do you feel the hate? I bet you do, but only because you’re so sensitive to it. The fact is, there are always going to be some people who more or less despise you, no matter what you do. It’s lame that you should get this kind of treatment now, during your birthday season, but try not to fixate on it, if at all possible. You focus way too much on the negative stuff you receive, as it is. The truth is there are many, many more people who are fond of and appreciate you than who spurn you. They should get a corresponding proportion of your attention, don’t you think?
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) I admire your patience. You’re as prone to dramatic outbursts as any fire or water sign, and you certainly understand the kind of passion that produces them. But lately, you’ve been remarkably patient and balanced when it comes to planning for, creating, and simply waiting for change. As a result, what you end up with is usually far wiser, more sensible, and more functional than what would have resulted if you’d pushed harder. This week be careful of that steady, stable progress; don’t risk that slow maturation of plans and shrewd foresight by letting yourself be goaded, encouraged, or tricked into the kind of rashness you’ve worked so hard to avoid.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Adding spice to something—especially a relationship—involves more than just pouring hot sauce all over it. That can work sometimes, but usually it’ll just make whatever it is you’re trying to eat unpalatable, or at least lose the more subtle flavors that attracted you to it in the first place. Mostly it’ll just end up tasting like anything else smothered in hot sauce. At the point, what’s the point? Be more thoughtful as you try to mix things up. It’s time for a change, but try to make it purely for the better. Losing everything that used to be great in order to create something new would be an awful shame.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Seek difficult but willing partners. Whether you’re collaborating on a creative project, a relationship, or a business venture, the people who are going to challenge you at every turn are the ones you want, even if that feels like a huge hassle. As long as they are willing to see you through to the end of whatever it is, and inspired to try to create something truly great, it is desirable—perhaps even vital—that they have in mind a completely different path to get there. The goal should be to end up with the route to your destination that incorporates the best of both your worlds—not a compromise, but a synergy.

Please call for appointment PROCEEDS TO FUND A WOMEN’S CLINIC ON MAUI
Wear different lenses this week. It might be scary to suddenly totally transform the way you look at familiar people in your life, but it might also be incredibly useful. Can you view your lover purely through the lens of friendship? What would your relationship be like if you weren’t attracted to him or her at all? Can you see an old friend as a potential lover? This isn’t to say that you need to follow through or act on these altered perceptions, necessarily, but you might be surprised at how many interesting (and fruitful) ramifications they reveal, regarding how you view and live life in general.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Where is your famous flexibility now? Lately, I’ve seen you make more excuses than anything else. Yes, while it might be easiest for you to work on a creative project in a certain environment, or have a specific kind of discussion at a specific time, the truth is your ability to manifest these very particular situations is limited right now. That leaves you with two options: Make stuff happen in the spaces and times available to you, no matter how far from ideal they are; or simply do nothing (except make excuses about why you’re doing nothing). To me, that choice is a no-brainer.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) While you can present the appearance of being totally uninhibited and oblivious to other people’s perceptions, the truth is you’re usually acutely aware of them and simply making a determined effort to do what you want and be who you are, anyway. The problem is some people really want you to care what they think, and may write you off if they believe you aren’t aware of or sensitive to their opinions. Since you actually are, and the truth is you do give a crap, why not clue them in? Leaving them in the dark, at this point, might as well be a self-sabotaging lie.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) You’re beautiful when you smile, you know that? I worry because you haven’t been smiling as much you should be, lately. I would never suggest that you force yourself to grin when you don’t feel like it; I think people ought to be authentic and genuine at all times. I just worry that you’re not feeling happy enough; that you don’t, in fact, have a clear idea of what would make you happy. Is that the case? Or are your parameters for experiencing happiness too extreme and hard to consistently attain? This week, focus on figuring out what would bring a smile to your face, and making sure the list includes many things that you can manifest on a daily basis. Then do what you have to do to make them happen.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Some skeptics require unequivocal proof before they will believe something. Other people are willing to buy into something without the slightest confirmation that it is real or true. Most of us fall somewhere in between, as we should, especially you Bulls, especially right now. You’re unlikely to get incontrovertible evidence about the things you are being asked to believe in and support. However, there’s no need to blindly throw in with something. Let faith meet a bit of reasonable guesswork and belief here and find a comfortable place to live in the middle. Walking that fuzzy line between optimistic trust and pessimistic skepticism is just where you want to be. Aim for it.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Cancers are generous, but sometimes you have trouble giving things without invisible strings attached. Often you yourself don’t see them, until something happens down the line, when you find out you’ve been keeping a subconscious tally of all the things you’ve given, and those you’ve received—and you’ve realized that the numbers don’t add up. This shouldn’t vex you. Because of your nature, you will almost always give up more than you get back in tangible ways. That’s got to be okay. If you’re not already cool with that, then spend this week figuring out how to let it go, cut the invisible strings, and just be the munificent sweetheart you were always meant to be.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) You’re a cut flower in water. Right now you have all you need to blossom and be beautiful, but how long can it last? I have a feeling that your current set-up isn’t particularly sustainable. You need to get your roots into some dirt, pronto, before your bloom fades. What is “dirt” for you? Do you even know? What will nourish and sustain you, even as winter approaches, and keep you going, even lonely and buried under a mound of snow? That’s what you need to find, and integrate into your life as fast as you can—preferably this week.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) After inviting a friend to come stay with you (perhaps even insisting that they do so), it’s hardly fair or reasonable of you to complain about your lack of privacy. You went out of your way to manifest the situation you’re bitching about, and just because it hasn’t worked out as you imagined it would doesn’t mean it’s not your fault. I suspect that your expectations weren’t particularly realistic. Now you have to either own that you didn’t know what you were getting yourself into, and ideally get over it, if you can. Don’t blame the person you set up to ultimately piss you off. Put reasonable limits on the situation, and then grin and bear it. You’ll be glad you did, later.
